Prisoners of war, missing soldiers recognized by ROTC
By Robin Hardie
Staff Writer
Soldiers who are missing in action or prisoners of war in Southeast Asia are being remembered this week by members of all three branches of the university's Reserve Officer Training Corps.
The Arnold Air Society, a professional honorary service organization for the Air Force ROTC, sets aside one
week a year in remembrance of those still missing in action, said Chris Froeschner, AAS Captain and an Air Force ROTC cadet captain.
"It's just something we firmly believe in," said Froeschner, a senior majoring in industrial systems engineering. "It's an important thing.
"We pick a target week, and we set up for tne whole week to do this," he said.
Yellow ribbons, to be worn in remembrance of MIAs and POWs, will be distributed all week.
A black flag, adorned with a man's silhouette and the phrase, "You are not forgotten," will be raised Tuesday morning, Froeschner said.
"We're not asking people to be there for the flag-raising, just to look up," he said..

27 units at 30th, Hoover to be sold next August
By Robin Hardie
Staff Writer
Construction began this week on 27 units of faculty and staff housing at the northeast comer of 30th and Hoover streets, university
' j
officials said Monday.
The new condominiums and townhouses, available only to university faculty and staff, are scheduled to be finished by August 1990, said Patricia Smith, vice president of the university Real Estate Development Corporation.
The units are being offered to the faculty at cost, with prices ranging from $140,000 to $285,000, Smith said.
"The costs will reflect the price of construction, permits and financing," she said.
The university will not make a profit from the sales, Smith said, and assistance will be offered through the treasurer's office to help faculty and staff afford the units.
The condominiums and townhouses will be built with 1,000- and 2,000-square-foot floor plans. Described as "very nice," they are very expensive to build, Smith said.
Parking facilities will be underground for security and aesthetic reasons.
"That's what people wanted, but it's an expensive way to build," she said. "Next time around we'll try to find a less expensive way to build so (the units) can be more affordable."
Plans are also underway to build 120 units at the southeast corner of 30th and Hoover streets up to two years after the completion of the first set of units, Smith said.
"Expansion depends largely on how well-received these are," she said. "There isn't a lot of land around campus, and we don't want to tear down any existing housing."

Gang fight erupts on campus
Five youths arrested for brawl by Carl’s Jr.
By Roger Tefft and Andrew Vrees
Staff Writers
The latest in a recent string of gang-related incidents brought the violence to campus Friday in a midday exchange of
blows outside Carl's Jr. restaurant, University Security officers said Monday.
Two Security officers arrested five of possibly 10 gang members who were punching and kicking each other outside the restaurant, according to a report by Officer Larry Hamblin.
Most of the suspects were dressed in blue clothing, which one of the officers said might have indicated they were
members of the Crips gang, though initial security reports said that the suspects were possibly members of the 18th Street and South Side Locos gangs.
